The Lowdown
Imperial Units
Alright, I've gotta level with you – we are in a proper flat spell. Nothing on the horizon that’ll get your heart rate up.
There is no good surf to speak of in this 16-day window. It’s a long, quiet run from now until the end of September. The only session that might get you wet without wasting your time is on the morning of Saturday, September 19th at The Reef (Haifa).
That morning, we’re looking at a weak 3ft swell from the WNW with a combined energy of just (91). That’s not much juice. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s just wind swell, not a proper groundswell. The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than average for September. You’ll get light cross-shore winds, which is the best wind we see all period, but the surf quality is still rated as poor. This spot is inconsistent and needs a good west swell, and this one is coming from the side.
The morning of Sunday, September 27th shows another similar 3ft pulse with a light breeze, but again it’s woefully weak and short period. The afternoons get chewed up by onshore winds.
To put it bluntly, the numbers don’t lie. The swell height never hits 4ft, the period is always under 8 seconds, and the energy readings are all in the double digits – weak stuff. For a beach-and-reef break that’s already inconsistent, this isn’t worth the wax. If you absolutely have to get out there, the glassy Saturday morning on the 19th is the only window, but you’ll be fighting for gutless little waves.
Keep the board in the bag, mates. It’s a quiet one.

Information about the The Reef (Haifa) Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for The Reef (Haifa) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at The Reef (Haifa) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our The Reef (Haifa) surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (The Reef (Haifa)) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for The Reef (Haifa) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
